Hello, everyone, and thank you for stopping by today. I finally did it—I made my first video. It took me forever to get up the courage to do it. I made three cards using the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.
The Full of Life Designer Series Paper measures 6 x 6. This gorgeous set of watercolor designs was hand-painted by Stampin’ Up! in-house artisans. Choose from organic squares, circles, color wheels, and brushstroke designs for beautiful card fronts, accents, lovely layers, and more! It has fifteen coordinating colors – Balmy Blue, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Shaded Spruce, and Shy Shamrock.
I used one sheet of the designer series paper, which I cut into three strips measuring 2 x 5 1/2 (except for the third card, which I cut 2 x 5 1/4). My first card uses Real Red card stock for the card base. I adhered the DSP to a Melon Mambo Panel. I used one circle die from the Spotlight of Nature Dies to die-cut the Basic White card stock to stamp the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Mix and Match Photopolymer Stamp Set, inked with Shaded Spruce. I popped the sentiment up using Stampin Dimensionals. I used the Opal Rounds Assortment for the embellishments, which I colored using Dark Red Stampin’ Blends.
For my second card, I used Pumpkin Pie card stock for the card base and panel. The sentiment is from the Online Exclusive Happy Little Things Photopolymer stamp set, which I stamped in Pumpkin Pie on the panel. Using a blending brush, I added Daffodil Delight ink to the Daffodil Delight card stock to make it a little darker. I used the Spotlight of Nature Dies for the circle die-cut, and the sentiment is from The Cutest Cow Photopolymer Stamp Set.
For my last card, I used Blueberry Bushel card stock for the card base. The splotches are from another Online Exclusive Of Art & Texture Photopolymer Stamp Set. I added them to the card using the stamp-off technique. The DSP is adhered to Basic White card stock. The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set, punched using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. The embellishments are from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.
